Crews called to large fire at Ross Township auto shop

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Crews were called to a large fire at an auto shop in Ross Township on Wednesday.

First responders were called to the fire at Tao's Auto Service on Babcock Boulevard around 6 p.m for the fire. Smoke was seen pouring from the building, and firefighters had to get on the roof to get control of the flames.

Three firefighters were taken to local hospitals. Two suffered burns while the third injured an ankle. It was not immediately known if there were other injuries.

The owner of the clothing alteration shop next to the building said she was working with a bridge when the flames broke out.

"The building was raging on fire and the windows were exploding when we came out, so we got to safety and stayed out of the way," Suz Pisano said.

Multiple fire companies and other agencies responded to the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
